[00:49] bluesabre: Around? [12:21] i just got a new video card and when it puts the monitors in power saving it only turns off two out of three [12:22] i suspect this is due to a cabling issue [12:22] but it's weird :) [12:24] ali1234: swap cables around see if the non-sleeping monitor moves with it [12:25] i would do, but i bought cables that are exactly the right length, and it is the shortest one that is acting weird [12:25] it also has loads of ghosting [12:25] ow :) [12:25] which i would have expected on the longest one first [12:25] they are DP to VGA cables [12:25] connector pins bent, have you checked? [12:26] DP to VGA requires an active convertor doesn't it? so could be related to drawing power? [12:26] anyway i just mention it in case anyone sees a similar issue... small chance it's due to my GPU [12:26] ali1234: seen a lot of cases where pins have been bent or debris in connector blocked the DDC comms [12:27] i bought brand new cables with the brand new GPU :) [12:28] ali1234: brand new is often a problem... pins have never been plugged into a recepticle so may be out of line. [13:15] who made this? https://i.imgur.com/bABrUk8.png [13:19] there is something wrong with it for sure :( [13:20] i probably have an old version though [18:00] ali1234: i (mostly) made it, let me know if there are issues with the latest 4.14.1 release (otherwise i probably won't care ;)) [18:00] but it's - as everything xfsettingsd does - xrandr based [18:00] well, basically if i ever unplug any monitor, all my monitors turn off [18:00] so if something doesn't work with xrandr, don't expect the display dialog or xfsettingsd to work any differently [18:01] if "configure news displays when connected" is set to "off" then the only way to recover my desktop is to restart Xorg [18:01] however if it is set to on then plugging the monitor back in causes all my monitors to turn on again [18:02] the setting "automatically enable profiles..." does not seem to do anything at all [18:02] do you have a saved profile for the current setup? [18:02] also, there was a bug in this in 4.14.0, hence 4.14.1 [18:02] i tried with and without [18:02] and i'm still running 18.04 [18:02] so again, if you're not on 4.14.1 i'll stop reading *now* :) [18:03] so how do i install 4.14.1 on 18.04?
